A company's director of engineering visited one of the regional offices and, as was his custom, invited several of the local engineers to a “team building” lunch. At lunch, systems engineer Jason Galanter complained that the workload was too heavy and that the company should hire more engineers. Two of his coworkers said they agreed with him. Galanter offered his opinion that the CEO could have hired several additional engineers with the $400,000 salary that he agreed to pay a recently hired executive.
